The NADPH oxidase NOX4 regulates redox and metabolic homeostasis preventing HCC progression
Loss of NOX4 in HCC tumor cells induces metabolic reprogramming in a Nrf2/MYC‐dependent manner to promote HCC progression. Abstract Background and Aims The NADPH oxidase NOX4 plays a tumor‐suppressor function in HCC. Silencing NOX4 confers higher proliferative and migratory capacity to HCC cells and increases their in vivo tumorigenic potential in ...

RIPK3 dampens mitochondrial bioenergetics and lipid droplet dynamics in metabolic liver disease
RIPK3 dampens mitochondrial bioenergetics and lipid droplet dynamics in metabolic liver disease. Abstract Background and Aims Receptor‐interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3) mediates NAFLD progression, but its metabolic function is unclear. Here, we aimed to investigate the role of RIPK3 in modulating mitochondria function, coupled with lipid droplet (LD)

Pyruvate dehydrogenase E1α deficiency in a family: Different clinical presentation in two siblings [PDF]
The pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) complex (PDHc) is responsible for the irreversible conversion of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA. PDHc is a multienzyme complex consisting of three catalytic subunits, pyruvate decarboxylase (E1), dihydrolipoamideacetyltransferase

The dynamic organization of fungal acetyl-CoA carboxylase [PDF]
Acetyl-CoA carboxylases (ACCs) catalyse the committed step in fatty-acid biosynthesis: the ATP-dependent carboxylation of acetyl-CoA to malonyl-CoA. They are important regulatory hubs for metabolic control and relevant drug targets for the treatment of ...

Lactate metabolism and lactylation in female reproductive diseases: From metabolic rewiring to biomarkers and translational therapeutics. [PDF]
1. Lactate‐derived histone lactylation links glycolytic reprogramming to epigenetic regulation in female reproductive diseases. 2. In endometriosis, lactylation may promote inflammatory remodelling, immune dysregulation and ferroptosis resistance. 3. In PCOS, lactylation connects metabolic disturbance to granulosa‐cell dysfunction and hyperandrogenism.
